FIELD

Provided herein are methods of making and solid forms of 2-(tert-butylamino)-4-((1R,3R,4R)-3-hydroxy-4-methylcyclohexylamino)-pyrimidine-5-carboxamide, compositions thereof, methods of their use for the treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition, and the solid forms for use in such methods.

BACKGROUND

The identification and selection of a solid form of a pharmaceutical compound are complex, given that a change in solid form may affect a variety of physical and chemical properties, which may provide benefits or drawbacks in processing, formulation, stability, bioavailability, storage, handling (e.g., shipping), among other important pharmaceutical characteristics. Useful pharmaceutical solids include crystalline solids and amorphous solids, depending on the product and its mode of administration. Amorphous solids are characterized by a lack of long-range structural order, whereas crystalline solids are characterized by structural periodicity. The desired class of pharmaceutical solid depends upon the specific application; amorphous solids are sometimes selected on the basis of, e.g., an enhanced dissolution profile, while crystalline solids may be desirable for properties such as, e.g., physical or chemical stability (see, e.g., S. R. Vippagunta et al., Adv. Drug. Deliv. Rev., (2001) 48:3-26; L. Yu, Adv. Drug. Deliv. Rev., (2001) 48:27-42).

Whether crystalline or amorphous, solid forms of a pharmaceutical compound include single-component and multiple-component solids. Single-component solids consist essentially of the pharmaceutical compound or active ingredient in the absence of other compounds. Variety among single-component crystalline materials may potentially arise from the phenomenon of polymorphism, wherein multiple three-dimensional arrangements exist for a particular pharmaceutical compound (see, e.g., S. R. Byrn et al., Solid State Chemistry of Drugs, (1999) SSCI, West Lafayette). The importance of discovering polymorphs was underscored by the case of Ritonavir™, an HIV protease inhibitor that was formulated as soft gelatin capsules. About two years after the product was launched, the unanticipated precipitation of a new, less soluble polymorph in the formulation necessitated the withdrawal of the product from the market until a more consistent formulation could be developed (see S. R. Chemburkar et al., Org. Process Res. Dev., (2000) 4:413-417).

Notably, it is not possible to predict a priori if crystalline forms of a compound even exist, let alone how to successfully prepare them (see, e.g., Braga and Grepioni, 2005, “Making crystals from crystals: a green route to crystal engineering and polymorphism,” Chem. Commun.: 3635-3645 (with respect to crystal engineering, if instructions are not very precise and/or if other external factors affect the process, the result can be unpredictable); Jones et al., 2006, Pharmaceutical Cocrystals: An Emerging Approach to Physical Property Enhancement,” MRS Bulletin 31:875-879 (At present it is not generally possible to computationally predict the number of observable polymorphs of even the simplest molecules); Price, 2004, “The computational prediction of pharmaceutical crystal structures and polymorphism,” Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews 56:301-319 (“Price”); and Bernstein, 2004, “Crystal Structure Prediction and Polymorphism,” ACA Transactions 39:14-23 (a great deal still needs to be learned and done before one can state with any degree of confidence the ability to predict a crystal structure, much less polymorphic forms)).

The compound chemically named 2-(tert-butylamino)-4-((1R,3R,4R)-3-hydroxy-4-methylcyclohexylamino)-pyrimidine-5-carboxamide (alternatively named 2-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]-4-[[(1R,3R,4R)-3-hydroxy-4-methylcyclohexyl]amino]-5-pyrimidinecarboxamide) and tautomers thereof (collectively referred to herein as “Compound 1”) are disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2013/0029987, published on Jan. 31, 2013, and International Pub. No. WO2012/145569, the entireties of each of which are incorporated by reference herein.

The variety of possible solid forms creates potential diversity in physical and chemical properties for a given pharmaceutical compound. The discovery and selection of solid forms are of great importance in the development of an effective, stable and marketable pharmaceutical product.

The connection between abnormal protein phosphorylation and the cause or consequence of diseases has been known for over 20 years. Accordingly, protein kinases have become a very important group of drug targets. (See Cohen, Nature, 1:309-315 (2002), Gaestel et al. Curr.Med.Chem.14: 2214-223 (2007); Grimminger et al. Nat. Rev. Drug Disc. 9(12):956-970 (2010)). Various protein kinase inhibitors have been used clinically in the treatment of a wide variety of diseases, such as cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. (See Cohen, Eur. J. Biochem., 268:5001-5010 (2001); Protein Kinase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Disease: The Promise and the Problems, Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 167 (2005)).

JNK is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine kinase belonging, together with ERK (extracellular-regulated kinase) and p38, to the family of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). (Kyriakis J M, Sci. STKE (48):pel (2000); Whitmarsh A J, et al. Sci. STKE (1):pel (1999); Schramek H, News Physiol. Sci.17:62-7 (2002); Ichijo H, Oncogene 18(45):6087-93 (1999)). MAPKs are important mediators of signal transduction from the cell surface to the nucleus, using phosphorylation cascades to generate a coordinated response by a cell to an external stimulus by phosphorylation of selected intracellular proteins, including transcription factors. Additionally, JNK also phosphorylates non-nuclear proteins, for example, IRS-1, and Bcl-2 family members. (Davis R J, Trends Biochem. Sci. 9(11):470-473 (1994); Seger R et al., FASEB J.; 9(9):726-35 (1995); Fanger G R et al., Curr. Opin. Genet. Dev.; 7(1):67-74 (1997)).

The elucidation of the intricacy of protein kinase pathways and the complexity of the relationship and interaction among and between the various protein kinases and kinase pathways highlights the importance of developing pharmaceutical agents capable of acting as protein kinase modulators, regulators or inhibitors that have beneficial activity on multiple kinases or multiple kinase pathways. Accordingly, there remains a need for new kinase modulators, for example, JNK modulators, and in particular solid forms of those kinase modulators.

Capsules can be prepared by mixing a solid form of Compound 1 with a suitable carrier or diluent and filling the proper amount of the mixture in capsules. The usual carriers and diluents include, but are not limited to, inert powdered substances such as starch of many different kinds, powdered cellulose, especially crystalline and microcrystalline cellulose, sugars such as fructose, mannitol and sucrose, grain flours and similar edible powders.

Tablets can be prepared by direct compression, by wet granulation, or by dry granulation. Their formulations usually incorporate diluents, binders, lubricants and disintegrators as well as the compound. Typical diluents include, for example, various types of starch, lactose, mannitol, kaolin, calcium phosphate or sulfate, inorganic salts such as sodium chloride and powdered sugar. Powdered cellulose derivatives are also useful. Typical tablet binders are substances such as starch, gelatin and sugars such as lactose, fructose, glucose and the like. Natural and synthetic gums are also convenient, including acacia, alginates, methylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidine and the like. Polyethylene glycol, ethylcellulose and waxes can also serve as binders.

A lubricant might be necessary in a tablet formulation to prevent the tablet and punches from sticking in the dye. The lubricant can be chosen from such slippery solids as talc, magnesium and calcium stearate, stearic acid and hydrogenated vegetable oils. Tablet disintegrators are substances that swell when wetted to break up the tablet and release the compound. They include starches, clays, celluloses, algins and gums. More particularly, corn and potato starches, methylcellulose, agar, bentonite, wood cellulose, powdered natural sponge, cation-exchange resins, alginic acid, guar gum, citrus pulp and carboxymethyl cellulose, for example, can be used as well as sodium lauryl sulfate. Tablets can be coated with sugar as a flavor and sealant, or with film-forming protecting agents to modify the dissolution properties of the tablet. The compositions can also be formulated as chewable tablets, for example, by using substances such as mannitol in the formulation.

When it is desired to administer a solid form of Compound 1 as a suppository, typical bases can be used. Cocoa butter is a traditional suppository base, which can be modified by addition of waxes to raise its melting point slightly. Water-miscible suppository bases comprising, particularly, polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights are in wide use.

Asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of isoprene (12) and ester (11) in the presence of the catalysts (15) and (16) provided compound (17) in >98% ee. Catalyst (15) was formed from the reaction of compound (13) and compound (14). Hydrolysis of compound (17) with base, such as LiOH or NaOH, afforded the acid (18). Curtis rearrangement of (18) with diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA), followed by t-butanol addition, led to compound (8) with retention of stereochemistry. The trans hydroxyl group was installed by hydroboration/oxidation of compound (8) to give a mixture of diastereomers of compound (9a) and (9b). When (+)-diisopinocampheylborane, which is prepared from (−)-alfa-pinene and borane-methyl sulfide, was used as a hydroboration agent, a ratio of 5-8:1 of compound 9a and 9b was obtained.

The enantiomeric purity could be further enhanced by recrystallization in 2-propanol.

Several reaction conditions affected the enantio-selectivity during the formation of compound (17):

Triflimide (16) load: The load of triflimide (16) must be less than the load of catalyst (15). As shown in the table below, enantio-selectivity and conversion was high with excess catalyst (15) relative to triflimide (16), such as 0.3 eq:0.2 eq, 0.24 eq:0.20 eq, and 0.24 eq:0.15 eq respectively. However, charging just 0.05 eq of triflimide to above completed reactions resulted in compound (17) in various % ee. While the total amount of triflimide (16) is lower than catalyst (15) as in column 1 and 2, no erosion of ee was observed. While the total amount of triflimide (16) was higher than catalyst (15) as in column 3 and 4, the ee of compound (17) decreased to 50% within one hour and then to 0% after 2.5 h. While the quantity of catalyst (15), (0.18 eq) was lower than triflimide (16) (0.20 eq) in the beginning of the reaction, compound (17) has 50% ee at 1 h time point, and is completely racemized after 16 h.

Following the procedure of Route 2, Curtis rearrangement of (18) leads to compound (8) with retention of stereochemistry. Other reagents other than diphenylphosphoryl azide, such as CDI/NH₂OH/tBuOH can be used in the Curtis rearrangement reaction. The trans hydroxyl group is installed by hydroboration/oxidation of compound (8) to give a mixture of diastereomers of compound (9a) and (9b).

The trans hydroxyl group is installed by hydroboration/oxidation of compound (24) to give a mixture of four diastereomers (25 a-d). The diastereomers (25) are treated with base, such as NaOH, NaOEt or KOtBu, to give a mixture of two enantiomers (25a) and (25b). Reduction of the nitro group of (25a) and (25b) gives amines (26a) and (26b).

Solid Forms Analytical Methods

A polymorph screen of Compound 1 was performed to investigate whether different solid forms could be generated under various conditions, such as different solvents, temperature and humidity changes.

The solvents used in the polymorph screen were either HPLC or reagent grade, including n-BuOH, acetone, ACN, ACN/water, DCM, DMSO, EtOAc, EtOH, EtOH/water, heptane, heptanes, IPA, MEK, MeOH, MTBE, THF, THF/water, toluene and water.

All of solid samples generated in the polymorph screen were analyzed by XRPD. XRPD analysis was conducted on a PANalytical Empyrean or a Thermo ARL X'TRA X-ray powder diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation at 1.54 Å.

The PANalytical Empyrean instrument was equipped with a fine focus X-ray tube. The voltage and amperage of the X-ray generator were set at 45 kV and 40 mA, respectively. The divergence slits were set at 1/16° and ⅛°, and the receiving slits was set at 1/16°. Diffracted radiation was measured using a Pixel 2D detector. A theta-two theta continuous scan was set at step size 0.013 or 0.026 from 3° to 40° 2θ with sample spinning rate at 4. A sintered alumina standard was used to check the peak positions.

The Thermo ARL X'TRA instrument was equipped with a fine focus X-ray tube. The voltage and amperage of the X-ray generator were set at 45 kV and 40 mA, respectively. The divergence slits were set at 4 mm and 2 mm and the measuring slits were set at 0.5 mm and 0.2 mm. Diffracted radiation was measured using a Peltier-cooled Si (Li) solid-state detector. A theta-two theta continuous scan at 2.40° /min (0.5 sec/0.02° step) from 1.5° to 40° 2θ was used. A sintered alumina standard was used to check the peak positions.

DSC analyses were performed on a TA Discovery Differential Scanning calorimeter. Indium was used as the calibration standard. Approximately 2-5 mg of sample was placed into a DSC pan. The sample was heated under nitrogen at a rate of 10° C./min, up to a final temperature of 300° C. Melting points were reported as the extrapolated onset temperatures.

TGA analyses were performed on a TA Discovery Thermogravimetric Analyzer. Calcium oxalate was used for a performance check. Approximately 2-10 mg of accurately weighed sample was placed on a pan and loaded into the TGA furnace. The sample was heated under nitrogen at a rate of 10° C./min, up to a final temperature of 300° C.

Morphology analysis of the samples was carried out on an Even Mini SEM. Small amounts of samples were dispersed on a sample holder, and then coating with gold and viewed with 500× magnification.

Hygroscopicity was determined on a Surface Measurement Systems DVS. Typically a sample size of 5-20 mg was loaded into the DVS instrument sample pan and the sample was analyzed on a DVS automated sorption analyzer at room temperature. The relative humidity was increased from 0% to 90% RH at 10% RH step, then at 95% RH. The relative humidity was then decreased in a similar manner to accomplish a full adsorption/desorption cycle.

¹H NMR spectra were obtained on a Bruker 300 MHz NMR spectrometer. Samples were dissolved in DMSO-d6 and analyzed with 32 scans.

Equilibration/Slurry and Evaporation Experiments

Equilibration (also referred to as slurry experiments) and evaporation experiments were carried out by adding an excess of Compound 1 to up to 2 mL of a test solvent. The resulting mixture was agitated for at least 24 h at room temperature and 50° C. separately. Upon reaching equilibrium, the saturated supernatant solution was removed, filtered using 0.45 μm PTFE filters and allowed to evaporate in an open vial under nitrogen at room temperature and 50° C., respectively. The solid resulting from the equilibration was isolated and air-dried before analysis.

Equilibration experiments were performed at room temperature and 50° C. using Form A as starting material. The results are summarized in Table 1. The solids isolated from MTBE, heptanes and water were confirmed to be Form A by XRPD patterns. All other solvents afforded new forms. The solids isolated from acetone, DCM, THF and THF/water were designated as Form B. The solid isolated from EtOH/water, EtOH, ACN, ACN/water and IPA were designated as Form C. The solids isolated from MeOH were designated as Form D. The solids isolated from n-BuOH were designated as Form E. The solids isolated from toluene were designated as Form F. The solids isolated from EtOAc were designated as Form G. The solids isolated from DMSO were designated as Form H. All forms besides Form A were found to solvate during further characterization.

Anti-Solvent Recrystallization and Cooling Recrystallization Experiments

For cooling recrystallization, each of the selected solvents (MeOH, EtOH, EtOH/water) was saturated with Compound 1 at 60° C. The solution was stirred at 60° C. for 10 minutes, filtered using a 0.45 μm PTFE syringe filter, and then cooled to room temperature naturally and then placed into a refrigerator. The solid resulting from the recrystallization was isolated and air-dried before analysis.

For anti-solvent recrystallization, the selected solvents (MeOH, EtOH, IPA, and EtOAc) were saturated with Compound 1 at 60° C. Once the solid was completely dissolved, a portion of the solution was filtered into a pre-heated vial and a selected anti-solvent (water, MTBE, or heptane) was added at 60° C. The mixture was cooling to room temperature naturally and then placed into a refrigerator. The solid resulting from the recrystallization was isolated and air-dried before analysis.

MeOH, EtOH, EtOH/water, IPA, and EtOAc were used as single or primary solvents. Water, MTBE, and heptanes were used as anti-solvent. The results are summarized in Table 3. Only crystallizations using water as anti-solvents generated Form A. All other solvents or solvent combinations afforded similar solvate forms as observed during equilibration experiment.

Form A

Form A is a non-stoichiometric channel hydrate crystalline solid form of Compound 1. This form was mostly obtained from recrystallization or slurry experiments in aqueous or “water-rich” solvent systems.

Form A can also be obtained by conversion from Form H. A mixture of crude Form H (4 g) and water (40 mL) was heated to 70° C. for 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the product was collected by suction filtration. The wet cake was dried in a vacuum oven at 40° C. with a nitrogen bleed for 16 hours to give 2-(tert-butylamino)-4-((1R,3R,4R)-3-hydroxy-4-methylcyclohexylamino)pyrimidine-5-carboxamide as Form A and a white solid (3.54 g, 80%).

The effect of temperature (22° C.-70° C.) and water compositions in DMSO (50%-88%) on the stability of Form A and Form H of Compound 1 is mapped out in Table 6 and FIG. 45. This information indicates that Form A is the thermodynamically stable form in the water rich water/DMSO mixture (>70%).

TABLE 6 Stable forms after slurry experiments of Form H in ratio of water/ DMSO from 50 to 88% and temperatures from 22° C. to 70° C. % water in DMSO (Stable Polymorph Form) Temperature 50% 60% 67% 70% 80% 86% 88% 70° C. A 60° C. A A A A 40° C. H A/H A A 22° C. A/H H H A A A A

Form A was favored at 60° C. from 1:1 (50% water) to 1:4 DMSO:Water (80% water) and remained as Form A at 22° C. in 70-88% water in DMSO. 70% water in DMSO was at the edge of the Form conversion between Form A and Form H. Therefore, the final solvent composition was selected as 80% water in DMSO. These results indicated that for a synthesis of Compound 1 employing 5× vol. of DMSO, the addition of 20× vol of water at 60° C. to the reaction mixture after reaction completion would afford Compound 1 as Form A.

Form A has a crystalline XRPD pattern as shown in FIG. 1. The crystal habit is cube-like or rod-like as shown in FIG. 2. TGA and DSC thermograms of Form A are shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, respectively. The DSC thermogram showed only one major event with an onset temperature of 223° C., corresponding to melt/decomposition. TGA weight loss of 0.45% was observed up to 150° C. The ¹H NMR spectrum of Form A was consistent with Compound 1 structure (see FIG. 7).

The moisture sorption/desorption behavior of Form A was determined by DVS. The results are summarized in FIG. 6. A total mass change of 2.3% was observed between 0 and 95% RH, with a steep change of 1.3% between 0 and 10% RH. After undergoing the adsorption/desorption cycles, the XRPD diffractogram of the sample showed no change (see FIG. 8). Steep change between 0 and 10% RH was observed for several samples, but the amount of water uptake varied among samples. The total water uptake between 0 and 95% RH ranged from approximately 0.5% to 2% for all Form A samples analyzed.

Further characterization using single-crystal X-ray diffraction was performed for Form A. The structure was resolved in the space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). The crystal data and structure refinement is summarized in Table 7. The power x-ray pattern was calculated and matched the experimental XRPD patterns observed for Form A, as shown in FIG. 1. Fractional occupancy of water molecules was found in the crystal lattice. Inclusion of roughly 20% of occupancy lowered the R factor from 5.2% to 3.6%. The drawing of cell packing along b-axis as shown in FIG. 2 revealed channeled water molecules in the crystal lattice. These observations suggested that Form A is a channel hydrate. The theoretical water content is 1.1 wt % for 0.2 molar equivalents of water and 2.7 wt % for 0.5 molar equivalents of water.

The stability of Form A was further characterized by compression test and form transfer experiments. Upon application of 2000-psi pressure for about 1 minute, the material was still Form A, with slightly broader diffraction peaks (see FIG. 9). Results from form transfer experiments in Table 4 showed that all solvate forms convert to Form A upon desolvation by heating or upon slurry in water. These results suggested that Form A is a most stable or developable form of Compound 1.

FIG. 1 provides an XRPD pattern of Form A. A list of X-Ray Diffraction Peaks for Form A is provided below in Table 8.

FIG. 3 is an SEM image of Form A.

The intrinsic solubility of Form A at 25° C. after 24 h was 0.038 mg/mL and 0.289 mg/mL at pH 4.5. Although Form A is a channel hydrate, it has a relatively slow water uptake at room temperature. However, Form A may potentially absorb up to 3% water after storage at 40° C./75% RH for 7 months. The water uptake may strongly depend on the humidity of the storage conditions and therefore, it is recommended to protect Compound 1 from moisture during storage.

Form B

Form B was obtained from recrystallization or slurry experiments of Form A in acetone, CH₂Cl₂ or THF. Form B had a crystalline XRPD pattern as shown in FIG. 10. TGA and DSC thermograms of Form B obtained from acetone are shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, respectively. The TGA weight loss of 8.5 wt % corresponded to small broad DSC peak around 147° C. and can be attributed to loss of solvent in Form B. The major DSC peak with onset temperature of 223° C. corresponded to the melt/decomposition of Form A. The ¹H-NMR spectrum was obtained for the Form B sample and showed approximately 0.5 molar equivalents of acetone (see FIG. 13). The theoretical acetone content of a hemi-solvate of Compound 1 is 8.3 wt %, matching the TGA weight loss observed. These observations suggested that Form B is an acetone hemi-solvate of Compound 1. Form transfer experiment showed that heating Form B above the desolvation temperature resulted in Form A. Slurry of Form B in water also resulted in Form A.

A list of X-Ray Diffraction Peaks for Form B is provided below in Table 9.

Form C

Form C was obtained from recrystallization or slurry experiments of Form A in EtOH/water, EtOH, ACN or IPA. Form C had a crystalline XRPD pattern as shown in FIG. 14. TGA and DSC thermograms of Form C obtained from EtOH/water are shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, respectively. The TGA weight loss of 7.3 wt % corresponded to small broad DSC peak around 143° C. and can be attributed to loss of solvent in Form C. The major DSC peak with onset temperature of 224° C. corresponded to the melt/decomposition of Form A. The ¹H-NMR spectrum was obtained for the Form C sample and showed approximately 0.5 molar equivalents of EtOH (see FIG. 17). The theoretical EtOH content of a hemi-solvate of Compound 1 is 6.7 wt %, matching the TGA weight loss observed. These observations suggested that Form C is an ethanol hemi-solvate of Compound 1.

Form D

Form D was obtained from recrystallization or slurry experiments of Form A in MeOH. Form D had a crystalline XRPD pattern as shown in FIG. 18. TGA and DSC thermograms of Form D are shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, respectively. The TGA weight loss of approximately 4 wt % corresponded to small DSC peak around 170° C. and can be attributed to loss of solvent in Form D. The major DSC peak with onset temperature of 223° C. corresponded to the melt/decomposition of Form A. The ¹H NMR spectrum was obtained for the Form D sample and showed approximately 0.5 molar equivalents of MeOH (see FIG. 21). The theoretical MeOH content of a hemi-solvate of Compound 1 is 4.7 wt %, similar to the TGA weight loss observed. These observations suggested that Form D is most likely a methanol hemi-solvate of Compound 1. Form transfer experiment showed that heating Form D above the desolvation temperature resulted in Form A. Slurry of Form D in water also resulted in Form A.

Form E was obtained from recrystallization or slurry experiments of Form A in n-BuOH. Form E had a crystalline XRPD pattern as shown in FIG. 22. TGA and DSC thermograms of Form E are shown in FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, respectively. The TGA weight loss of 10.3 wt % corresponded to small broad DSC peak around 124° C. and can be attributed to loss of solvent in Form E. The major DSC peak with onset temperature of 224° C. corresponded to the melt/decomposition of Form A. The ¹H NMR spectrum was obtained for the Form E sample and showed approximately 0.5 molar equivalents of n-BuOH (see FIG. 25). The theoretical n-BuOH content of a hemi-solvate of Compound 1 is 10.3 wt %, matching the TGA weight loss observed. These observations suggested that Form E is an n-BuOH hemi-solvate of Compound 1.

Form F

Form F was obtained from recrystallization or slurry experiments of Form A in toluene. Form F had a crystalline XRPD pattern as shown in FIG. 26. The diffuse character of the diffraction pattern suggested low crystalline of the sample. TGA and DSC thermograms of Form F are shown in FIG. 27 and FIG. 28, respectively. The TGA weight loss of 6.9 wt % corresponded to small broad DSC peak around 113° C. and can be attributed to loss of solvent in Form F.

The ¹H-NMR spectrum obtained for the Form F sample showed approximately 0.3 molar equivalents of toluene (see FIG. 29), matching the TGA weight loss observed. These observations suggested that Form F is a 0.3 molar toluene solvate of Compound 1. Form transfer experiment showed that heating Form F above the desolvation temperature resulted in Form A.

Form I

Form I was obtained from recrystallization of Form A in sulfolane and water (1:1). Form I had a crystalline XRPD pattern as shown in FIG. 38. DSC thermograms of Form I are shown in FIG. 39. A DSC peak around 118° C. can be attributed to loss of solvent in Form I. The major DSC peak with maxium temperature of 213° C. corresponded to the melt/decomposition of Form A. ¹H NMR spectrum of Form I shows approximately 0.75 molar equivalents of sulfolane (see FIG. 40).

Clinical Protocol

A Phase 1, Randomized, Two-Part Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Single and Multiple Ascending Doses of Compound 1 in Healthy Subjects.

The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple oral doses of Compound 1 in health subjects.

The secondary objectives are to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Compound 1 following single and multiple oral doses.

Study Design.

This is a two-part study to be conducted at up to two study centers.

Part 1 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of Compound 1 following a single oral dose in healthy subjects. Investigators and study participants will be blinded to treatment throughout the study, while the Sponsor will remain unblinded. The chosen study design is an escalating dose in sequential groups.

In Part 1, approximately 56 subjects will be randomized and enrolled into seven planned cohorts. Each cohort will consist of eight subjects; six subjects will receive Compound 1 and two subjects will receive placebo.

During the course of Part 1, each subject will participate in a screening phase, a baseline phase, a treatment phase, and a follow-up visit. Subjects will be screened for eligibility. Subjects who have met all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria at screening will return to the clinical site on Day-1 for baseline assessments, and will be domiciled at the clinical site from Day-1 to Day 4. Subjects will receive a single oral dose of investigational product (IP; either Compound 1 or placebo) on Day 1, under fasted conditions, according to the randomization schedule. Blood and urine samples will be collected at pre-specified times for PK and/or clinical laboratory assessments and/or exploratory analyses. Safety will be monitored throughout the study. Subjects will be discharged from the clinical site on Day 4 following completion of the required study procedures and will return to the clinical site for a follow-up visit on Day 7 (±1-day window). In the event that a subject discontinues from the study, an early termination (ET) visit will be performed.

After each cohort, safety data will be reviewed and PK data will be reviewed as needed. The parameters to be reviewed prior to each dose escalation along with specific dose escalation.

Part 2 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of Compound 1 following multiple oral doses (up to 14 days of dosing) in healthy subjects. Investigators and study participants will be blinded to treatment throughout the study, while the Sponsor will remain unblinded. The chosen study design is an escalating dose in sequential groups.

Part 2 will not begin until total daily doses up to and including 240 mg have been evaluated in Part 1. Only doses that are safe and well tolerated in Part 1 will be administered in Part 2.

In Part 2, approximately 48 subjects will be randomized and enrolled into six planned cohorts. Each cohort will consist of eight subjects; six subjects will receive Compound 1 and two subjects will receive placebo.

During the course of Part 2, each subject will participate in a screening phase, a baseline phase, a treatment phase, and a follow-up visit. Subjects will be screened for eligibility. Subjects who have met all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria at screening will return to the clinical site on Day 1 for baseline assessments, and will be domiciled at the clinical site from Day 1 to Day 17. The first dose of IP (either Compound 1 or placebo) will be administered on Day 1, under fasted conditions, according to the randomization schedule. The same total daily dose will be administered under fasted conditions on Days 2 to 14. Blood samples will be collected at pre-specified times for PK, clinical laboratory assessments, and/or exploratory biomarkers. Urine samples will be collected at pre-specified times for clinical laboratory assessments. Safety will be monitored throughout the study. Subjects will be discharged from the clinical site on Day 17 following completion of the required study procedures and will return to the clinical site for a follow-up visit on Day 21 (±1-day window). In the event that a subject discontinues from the study, an ET visit will be performed.

After each cohort, safety data will be reviewed and PK data will be reviewed as needed. The parameters will be reviewed prior to each dose escalation along with specific dose escalation.

Study Population: Approximately 104 healthy adult subjects (males or females of non-childbearing potential) from any race between 18 and 50 years of age, inclusive, will be enrolled into the study, with approximately 56 subjects participating in Part 1 and approximately 48 subjects participating in Part 2.

Length of Study: The estimated duration of the study, inclusive of Parts 1 and 2, from first-subject-first-visit to last-subject-last-visit, is approximately 8 months.

The estimated duration of the clinical phase of Part 1, from first-subject-first-visit to last-subject-last-visit, is approximately 4 months. The estimated duration of each subject's participation in Part 1, from screening through follow-up, is approximately 4 weeks.

Part 2 will not begin until total daily doses up to and including 240 mg have been evaluated in Part 1. Only doses that are safe and well tolerated in Part 1 will be administered in Part 2. The estimated duration of the clinical phase of Part 2, from first-subject-first-visit to last-subject-last-visit, is approximately 6 months. The estimated duration of each subject's participation in Part 2, from screening through follow-up, is approximately 6 weeks.

The End of Trial is defined as either the date of the last visit of the last subject to complete the study, or the date of receipt of the last data point from the last subject that is required for primary, secondary and/or exploratory analysis, as pre-specified in the protocol and/or the Statistical Analysis Plan, whichever is the later date.

Study Treatments.

Part 1: Approximately 56 subjects will be randomized and enrolled into seven planned cohorts, with eight subjects per cohort. In each cohort, six subjects will receive Compound 1 and two subjects will receive placebo.

Doses in Part 1 will be administered as active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in capsules (or matching placebo) once daily (QD).

The following Compound 1 dose levels in Table 17 are planned for Part 1.

TABLE 17 Compound 1 Dose Levels in Part 1 Cohort Compound 1 Dose Level (Total Daily Dose) 1A  10 mg 1B  30 mg 1C  60 mg 1D 120 mg 1E 240 mg 1F 480 mg 1G 720 mg

If gastrointestinal (GI)-related events such as intolerable nausea or vomiting occur, total daily doses may be lowered or may be administered BID or three times daily (TID).

Investigational product will be administered at only one dose level at a time, and administration at the next dose level will not begin until the safety and tolerability of the preceding dose level have been evaluated and deemed acceptable by the Investigator and Sponsor's Medical Monitor.

Part 2: Part 2 will not begin until total daily doses up to and including 240 mg have been evaluated in Part 1. Only doses that are safe and well tolerated in Part 1 will be administered in Part 2.

Approximately 48 subjects will be randomized and enrolled into six planned cohorts, with eight subjects per cohort. In each cohort, six subjects will receive Compound 1 and two subjects will receive placebo.

The planned dosing regimen in Part 2 is Compound 1 in capsules (or matching placebo) QD for 14 days. The following Compound 1 dose levels in Table 18 are proposed for Part 2.

TABLE 18 Compound 1 Dose Levels in Part 2 Cohort Compound 1 Dose Level (Total Daily Dose) Duration 2A  10 mg Daily × 14 days 2B  30 mg Daily × 14 days 2C  60 mg Daily × 14 days 2D 120 mg Daily × 14 days 2E 240 mg Daily × 14 days 2F 480 mg Daily × 14 days

Proposed dose levels in Part 2 may be modified and/or eliminated based on data obtained from Part 1. Should a change to the proposed dose escalation step(s) be required, the maximum dose escalation step in Part 2 will be ≤3-fold the previous dose level. In addition, the maximum dose administered in Part 2 will not exceed the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in Part 1 and will not exceed 480 mg daily for 14 days.

If GI-related events such as intolerable nausea or vomiting occur, total daily doses may be lowered or may be administered BID or TID.

Investigational product will be administered at only one dose level at a time, and administration at the next dose level will not begin until the safety and tolerability of the preceding dose level have been evaluated and deemed acceptable by the Investigator and Sponsor's Medical Monitor. In addition, if a certain dose level is not tolerated in Part 1 then that dose level or any higher dose level will not be administered in Part 2 except for the instance of a GI intolerability (e.g., nausea, vomiting) that is mitigated via an alternative dose regimen (i.e., BID or TID).

Overview of Safety Assessments. Safety will be monitored throughout the study. Safety evaluations will include AE reporting, PEs, vital signs, 12-lead ECGs, clinical laboratory safety tests (including liver function tests [LFTs], total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein [HDL], and low-density lipoprotein [LDL] in addition to standard clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis tests), review of concomitant medications/procedures, FOB tests and stool monitoring, and pregnancy tests for female subjects. All AEs will be monitored and recorded throughout the study from the time the informed consent form (ICF) is signed until study completion, and when made known to the Investigator within 28 days after the last dose of IP (and those SAEs made known to the Investigator at any time thereafter that are suspected of being related to IP). All concomitant medications and procedures will be reviewed and recorded from the time the subject signs the ICF until study completion. A follow-up visit will be scheduled for all subjects. If a subject is discontinued from the study for any reason, an ET visit will be performed.

Overview of Pharmacokinetic Assessments. In both parts of the study, blood samples will be collected at pre-specified times to determine levels of Compound 1 in plasma. For Cohorts 1C to 1G of Part 1 (planned dose levels of 60 mg to 720 mg), urine samples will be collected at pre-specified times for exploratory metabolite analyses. Prominent metabolites in plasma and urine will be identified and Compound 1 in urine may be quantified as part of the exploratory analyses.

The following PK parameters will be estimated for Compound 1, as appropriate: maximum observed plasma concentration (C_(max)); time to Cmax (T_(max)); area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity (AUC_(∞)); area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC_(t)); area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to tau (τ), where τ is the dosing interval (AUC_(τ)); terminal-phase elimination half-life (t_(1/2,z)); apparent total plasma clearance when dosed orally (CL/F); apparent total volume of distribution when dosed orally, based on the terminal phase (V_(z)/F); ratio of accumulation (RA) based on Day 1 and Day 14 AUC_(τ).

Compound 1 concentrations in urine samples collected in Part 1 may be further quantified using a validated method if exploratory analyses indicate that Compound 1 is abundant in urine. The following PK parameters related to urine analyses may then be determined, as appropriate: cumulative amount of drug excreted unchanged in urine during the collection period from predose (0-hour) to the end of collection (Ae); cumulative percentage of the administered dose excreted unchanged in urine during the collection period from predose (0-hour) to the end of collection (fe); renal clearance (CL_(r)).
